I'm not fan of those wheels, I think the EuroR wheels look cleaner/oem but it's your car and if you like it

[thusee]

Euro R are nice i definitely agree on that, i just don't like the offset

Have to use spacers in the front to clear front calipers 5mm minimum so thats fine.

But the rears tuck in WAY too much and i'm using 10 mm spacers and it is still tucking, my driverside has extended studs so i can get away with it but the passenger side is on stock studs because when the tech swapped my wheel bearing he didnt change the studs over so its only grabbing by half the threads.

Using 20+mm bolt on spacers will do the trick to bring it out BUT it will damage the wheel bearings a hell of a lot faster so won't be doing that.

Plus i have wanted these wheels for a VERY VERY long time from the time i had my 93 integra lol. So once these are restored i'll throw them on and worst case if i don't like how it looks i'll just store them for a later date for a different car. No chance of selling

PS: I'm not getting rid of the euro r anyway lol it'll just go with my white rsx rims in the closet

So boys....small update.

Due to my lack of time and other priorities i'm afraid the lude is going away in about 2 weeks It has been a great run for sure, on to bigger and more important things in life.


Tonight, I am loading up all of the parts i have acquired.

Dump the h22 and in with the h23!

- Engine H23a Bluetop
- Every single Oem honda gaskets and seals
- Pulley's, coolant hoses
- Euro R intake
- Water pump
- etc
- etc

Tomorrow morning I'm taking it all out of the house driving it down to a shop and have them install it all for me

Due to the fact that the engine is at my parents place since i have no room for storage at mine i barely have any time to work on anything there so instead of waiting for spring to start the engine restore i figured i'll get my buddy to install all the parts on the engine and do the swap for me before winter.

SO when spring time comes i can take it out and rip it around

I don't think i'll be leaving the prelude scene anytime soon haha.

I'll post pics this weekend once everything is loaded up and at the location.

Just caught up on this thread.
Some nice little additions there, the centre carbon bit on the spoiler does look great! Not a fan of those wheels, though I have always liked the look of the original shiny red lip on them, contrasting against the black centres (which is why I think it's a shame when they are refurbed into one flat colour).
Confused by the latest post... Do you mean you're getting rid of the lude after engine swap, or that you're storing away for winter?

[thusee]

I haven't entirely decided on wheel color / combo yet for the wheels.

so update, engine has been dropped off.





Car wil be going in about 2 weeks for the swap. Couple of more parts are on the way and should be here in the next week or two!

[thusee]

Just got this in the mail!

Still couple of other items on route for the swap! Can't wait for it all to be put together!

[thusee]

Last parts for the build have arrived

Got the KS Tuned walk blocker for the timing belt and installed it on the new oem tensioner pulley.



S2 Thermal Intake Gasket
Blox extended studs for the added space of the thermal gasket
Mishimotto full rad and fan shroud kit
ES Suspension bushings for the top hats on the teins.

Nice build. I'd like the radiator as you have.
